Oink? What do Piglet Squids Say?

This adorable bundle of squid is the Piglet Squid. It’s rarely photographed (and seen) since it dwells 320 feet below the surface of the ocean.

This little guy (10 cm across) decided to smile for the cameras at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. His tentacles make him look like he has a curly head of hair sitting on top his precious little “snout.”
